Rnahybrid should definitely not be removed and we have just finished
another package (vienna-rna) which will pop up (hopefully soon modulo
some license clarification) in NEW.  So we somehow rely on libg2-dev
and if there is any urgent need to find a real maintainer (I was not
aware that non-RC buggy packages will be removed) we should probably
take it over.

Kind regards

     Andreas.
